New to the boards!

Hi there.
I happened to come across this great place in my voyage last night, and I have to say, I was captivated and the forums kept my attention into the wee hours of the morning. I was pretty apprehensive to post before, as hysterectomy wasn't a "definite," but today, I am thrilled to say it is, and I now want to come out of hiding and say HELLO!!! ;-) I will post more later to introduce myself, but for now I wanted to just say that this is a great place and I can tell it's a very warm and safe place to come.
I look forward to getting to know you all more.

Happy 2003!
All the best,
Christine

*Pending surgery date, but actually looking forward to it!!!*

WELCOME

Keep us posted as soon as you can.

Hello Christine Welcome
You are not alone. I too found this site after doing some research and I am so happy I did. I have made several new friends and the ladies on this site helped me with my fears and offered much support, something I needed, and I don't think I could have done it without all my sisters. Somedays I felt like I was in the twilght zone and I would come here for advise but most of all support. There is always someone willing to help, these ladies are all angels.
Don't forget to post your castle date on the calander.
Take care
Nicole

Wanted to welcome another Fla sister to the boards!!!!!

There is a ton of info also in the pull down menus for you and your family that you can print off so they can understand better what you will be going thru....

Also check out hystersister's across America and find Florida....there are a bunch of us and we are in the middle of planning a get-together for the end of this month!!! Drop on in and introduce yourself....

Christine,

Welcome to Hystersisters!

This is a great site with a lot of good info. You will find many knowledgable, caring, sharing women here. They helped answer my questions & put my mind at ease when I was told I had to have a hyst.

Please be sure and add your surgery date to your profile. Sometimes it helps to connect with others who have the same surgery date as you.

Glad you decided to come *on board* - read & post as much as you can. No question is silly & there isn't anything we haven't talked about here!

Best wishes to you!

Thank you, ladies. I look forward to learning, supporting and sharing here. I got lucky when I found you all. You do truly seem to be angels...

Christine

Glad you found this site.

It was a Godsend to me last year while I was in waiting. I learned so much and got so much support from the ladies here.

I'm also from central Florida. If there is anything I can do just let me know.
